It's unclear if a 'simple majority' is a numerical majority, a majority of the simple people, or if it has some other meaning, but it seems that FG will allow a majority of residents to rename their street, should they so wish.

Fine Gael's policy department must have been working overtime to come up with this latest white elephant.

Ask tommy o'b - he'll be able to tell you and how it was in fact all his idea. Personally, though, I think it is part of the 'gay' agenda for formal recognition of gayness in our communities. So, in future, we can have 'Gay Gardens', Pink Park, etc. 'Up, Up and Away' in my beautiful Balloon Gilmore can solemnly announce it as a comprehensive answer to a burning issue of the day and, being sufficiently inflated by a burst of hot air to lift off the ground, he can take full credit for Labour in pushing FG to introduce this.

................and within two years the street names will have reverted back to what they were before the change.

All the bloody oompa loompa hued peroxide blonde thrash will band together and the southside of Dublin will be renamed Sorrento Terrace, which wont go down well....oh god it does not even bear thinking about.

Pyjama wearing ugg boot loving bimbettes will be renaming their streets every three bloody weeks!

Which is so much better than the bloody oompa loompa hued peroxide blonde thrash on the north side who will have been harassed by their plastic leisure clothing wearing, beer drinking, unemployed baby daddies to rename the road "Wayne Rooney Street" every time he scores a goal.
